The exceptional even-heat-spreading ability of Solid Copper cookware is the stuff of legend, and the best French chefs have relied on them for over 100 years. Because of its non-stick properties, the inside of the very best premium pots were historically lined with a coating of pure, molten tin. Modern manufacturing techniques substituted Stainless Steel for Tin decades ago, but one consequence is more Steel and much less Copper in the body. So an unintended result of this change has been a general decline in the quality of the more “modern” cookware. We found these in the warehouse archives of a French factory that makes high quality cookware for the professional French market. These beautiful heavy copper vintage pots that haven't been made in years and couldn't resist buying them up!

Both styles of the Bombe French Casseroles shown are 8-1/2” wide at the top, have copper covers, and the outside copper surface has a vintage hammered texture. The model with the single long iron handle is 3-1/2” deep and the model with the two iron side handles is slightly deeper at 4-1/2”.

The beautiful curved “Bombe” shape of this cookware is unusual and rare to find. Functionally, the French call these a “French Casserole” – in the category of do-everything cookware. Each piece will come with detailed notes on the care and use of the French Copper cookware.
